camera phone. In fact, thanks to the company's Cyber-shot technology, you've got a 2 megapixel camera that'll outperform many similar handsets. Slide open the lens cover and the camera will activate automatically. There's auto-focus to make sure your subject stays sharp, along with a photo light that'll brighten your night-time shots. And if you're into blogging, you can upload images straight from your handset. But the Sony Ericsson K550i can do much more than just take pictures. It's happy to handle videos and music, with 64MB of memory and an expansion slot for storage. The TrackID feature will even identify tunes that you've not heard before, displaying the song name and artist within seconds. There's also plenty of other connectivity built into the K550i. An RSS reader lets you view news and information from web sites and blogs, while a proper web browser makes it easy for you to enjoy your favourite internet pages. In addition, you'll find a sophisticated email program, USB support and stereo Bluetooth compatibility. The Sony Ericsson K550i is undoubtedly a clever little camera phone - and it's much smarter than you might think.

Advantages: Small, lightweight, large screen, memory stick capacity Disadvantages: small buttons
Another year, another phone. This time, fed up of buying I decided to go on contract, and after looking through the selection on the Virgin website decided on this little beauty which was free on my 12 month contract.
Look & Feel

The first thing that attracted me to this phone was its cute little looks. Black casing with a large screen and tiny little silver buttons. The blue backlight caught my eye too. Its small compact size ... ...bulge when carrying it about in your pocket and it also means I can hide it well in work!
There are shortcut buttons around most of the phone, and by a press you can be listening to your favourite songs or being a budding photographer. The sliding lens cover at the back is a great idea to protect the camera and also doubles as a short cut to launch the camera.

Advantages: 2 megapixel camera, ease of use Disadvantages: Small buttons, short battery life.
...I used to own a Sony Ericsson a few years ago, but switched to a Samsung due to its sleek looks, but I am very happy to return, as the Sony is so much easier to use.
The first thing you notice about the phone when picking it up is its light weight and large screen, perfect for taking photo with the 2 megapixel camera. Mine came in black with silver buttons and looks great, albeit not as sleek at the some of the slide-down phones lke the Samsung ... ...be augmented by inserting a sony memory card. Though pricey, this is clever way of storing your music and images and allows you to free up the rest of your phone's memory.
Other extra features that impressed me were some of the fun auxiliery applications included. These include the Track ID software, that can identify music that is playing around you; the Photo DJ, Video DJ and Music DJ that let you play around and alter the music, image or video ...

Advantages: Brilliant design, Great camera and feature packed, Inexpensive Disadvantages: Poor indoor shots, high-end phones may be better
I bought the phone as a replacement for my tired looking Nokia 6230i. The phone cost only £79.99 from Carphone Warehouse (that was with trade in and the free £10 credit). Anyway here are the main features:
Design
The design for this phone is very eyecatching, and makes it look alot more expensive than it really is. The phone is only 14.5mm thick so will go unoticable in jeans pockets, yet still have enough depth to fit well in oyur palm. Thin, ... ...these often frighten potential customers away (fearing for their fingers safety), they are really very comfortable and easy to use. On the back of the phone is an active lens cover (camera turns on when opened), this is a good feature as it protects the camera however I fear that in a years time it may be quite loose.
Features:
The phone features all the usual things found on phones today Messaging, MP3 Player, Radio, Games etc. Some other good ...

Quick review of Sony Ericsson K550i Review ofSony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shotby
drskb
This is an excellent phone. plus points are slim size, good screen, strong battery life, short response time. Camera is good and useful but not outstanding. cons are keypad which needs time to get used to, poor picture quality in night/indoors and poor screen visibility in sunlight. But considering the cost, this is a good value for money.much better than many of nokia smartphones around. considering that joystick in k750 ended up in problems here its done away with and so its expected to last longer.
